"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

cardio & calorie restriction do not work for most people. do a search here on losing weight or losing bodyfat.

Yeah, but how many have you been taking in?

E.g If, hypothetically your BMR = 2000, you're buring off 1000, but taking in 4000, is a net gain of 1000c a day.

OK, you need to get a firm grip on your intake, like the others have said. Give us a typical day's diet - an HONEST account :) Then we can figure out what the hell is up.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Ignore the scale. Use a mirror.
That's excellent advice kerpal :). Bodybuilders or even many of the big lads here are technically obese according to things such as weight and BMI - but their body fat % in general is reasonably low. The scale doesn't know what your body composition is or what you look like - use the mirror to gauge your process :up:

and forget gauging any progress over anything less than a month or two. lots of things contribute to weight fluctuations over anything less than that, especially water retention.

Better yet use a tape measure, it's more accurate.

Amen to the suggestions above, the scale is the devil.

Even the mirror and tape measure can be dangerous if you want to compusively use them every day, like me.

I found the best indicator of progress was a monthly front and profile picture, one week is just too short of a time to notice any changes, on the scale or otherwise.
